Liz Kajko grew up in Colorado and has lived in Melbourne for 10 years. She carries her camera with her to capture what she sees. She wants to record the instantaneous drama in the passing light. The opportunity to revisit that moment in that place, may not happen again.
It’s important to catch the subtle beauty in the image, as the spaces are familiar and easy to pass by. They are not exotic locals, but the local background to our everyday. The beauty can be a unique view, the way the light comes through or the shadows hiding an element. There are magical moments when the object is illuminated and intrigue in the shadows. The reflections from the overpass and the illuminated poles create a mesmerizing viewpoint to draw the viewer in.
It’s important to capture the moment, because in an ever-changing environment created by removing the old and building the new, by seasons changing. These changes exist around us and affect our day-to-day lives. It’s important for Liz to continuously shoot where she lives, in order to record the day-to-day differences.
